Tom McCarten – Visualisation

So how did the video come about? I was brought in to create an individual 5 second bumper for each letter to be played on ‘jones!’ – a retro tv channel as part of an hour long genre homage documentary. The brief was that it was meant to be a party with stars of the past in their faded current glory. We did a day of shooting and then suddenly the client changed the brief to something super simple with no live action footage before they had seen any of what we had done. So I had all this footage and a few styleframes of where I had wanted to take it and I felt like seeing it through so I put it together in my spare time. For it to get any recognition was totally unexpected but a nice surprise.
